Def could be Signal.

That's a once in a decade find... amazing.

Will be a keeper for you, no?

PM me the VIN and I'll see if I can get you a Kardex.
I'm not sure. I have very little interest in NA anything. My initial instincts are to bring it back to original condition and then punt, but I guess I could always fall in love with it in the process.
Also, I don't really know what it would be worth once restored.
I really want an air-cooled Turbo

How bad of an idea is picking up a ~19 Cayenne Base or maybe S as a daily/road tripper?
They're good cars. Comfortable, generally reliable and handelobraes pretty nicely for what they are. Make sure it has the upgraded leather interior and bonus points if it has Burmester

Any idea how good the ADAS is? Handelbraes is great for daily and fun roads, but road trips with hundreds of miles of boring interstate... good ACC and LKA/Lane Center are god sends.

If you have any interest in punting it as-is lmk.

Not sure if it applies to the cayenne, but the Macan S has terrible gas mileage as a daily. That being said, much nicer to drive than the competition.

This was true of my Macan GTS as well. Since I picked up the FL5 Type R I switched the macan to an Audi A6 as my daily and it’s much better. Will rejoin P car crew if the prices ever go back to reasonable because in Vancouver they are ridiculous.

Yea first thought. You can see the wood bend under the rear wheels wtf is this.

If it were only my daily, I would get an EV... hell I might still pick up an X instead. My work commute is less than 20 miles round trip (the whole thin is 45 or 55 with one traffic light each way) and there are chargers at work that are ~50% the cost to charge at home. But we already have one EV and going all EV commits us to longer stops on road trips.
